Historical context[edit]

Main article: Wineville Chicken Coop Murders

In 1926, 13-year-old Sanford Clark was taken from his home in Saskatchewan (with the permission of his mother and reluctant father) by his uncle, 19-year-old Gordon Stewart Northcott.^[1]Northcott took Clark to a ranch in Wineville, California, where he regularly beat and sexually abused the boy — until August 1928, when the police took Clark into custody after his sister, 19-year-old Jessie Clark, informed them of the situation.^[2] Clark revealed that he was forced to help Northcott and his mother, Sarah Louise Northcott, in killing three young boys after Northcott had kidnapped and molested them.^[2][3] The police found no bodies at the ranch — Clark said they were dumped in the desert — but discovered body parts, blood-stained axes, and personal effects belonging to missing children. The Northcotts fled to Canada, but were arrested and extradited to the United States. Sarah Louise initially confessed to the murders,^[2]including that of Walter Collins. She later retracted her statement; Gordon, who had confessed to killing five boys, did likewise.^[3]
